Silitt\u00e4minen on tiskaamisen ja imuroinnin j\u00e4lkeen yksi ik\u00e4vimpi\u00e4 kotitaloushommia mit\u00e4 ihminen kuvitella saattaa. J\u00e4nn\u00e4 juttu kumminkin, ett\u00e4 ihminen joka inhoaa silityst\u00e4 koko intohimolla on ammatiltaan ompelija. Keskener\u00e4isten ja valmiiden tekstiilien silitys on nimitt\u00e4in yksi ompelijan t\u00e4rkeimpi\u00e4 ty\u00f6vaiheita, sen varsinaisen ompelun lis\u00e4ksi. Kauneinkaan vaate ei n\u00e4yt\u00e4 millek\u00e4\u00e4n jos saumoja ei ole ompelun j\u00e4lkeen silitetty auki ja vaate on rypyss\u00e4. Olen kuitenkin tullut huomaamaan, ett\u00e4 silitys ei ole l\u00e4hesk\u00e4\u00e4n niin tuskastuttavaa kun on kunnon v\u00e4lineet. Silitt\u00e4j\u00e4n t\u00e4rkeimm\u00e4t ty\u00f6v\u00e4lineet ovat kunnollinen, tehokas silitysrauta sek\u00e4 erilaiset silityskinkut, -hevoset, hihalaudat ja kulmalaudat, sek\u00e4 muut erikoisemmat silitt\u00e4misen apulaiset kuten piikik\u00e4s sametin silitysalusta ja kanttinauhan k\u00e4\u00e4nt\u00e4j\u00e4. Olen hankkinut erilaisia hihalautoja kirpputoreilta. Silityshevosen ja kulman silityslaudan ostin entisen opinahjoni poistomyynnist\u00e4. Yksi juttu minulta kuitenkin viel\u00e4 puuttui, nimitt\u00e4in silityskinkku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silityskinkku on tuollainen pitkulainen, p\u00e4\u00e4ryn\u00e4n tai kinkun muotoinen sahajauholla tai sahanpurulla t\u00e4ytetty kovahko tyyny. T\u00e4ytteen\u00e4 k\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n sahanpurua koska silloin kinkusta saa todella napakan, eik\u00e4 se kunnolla t\u00e4ytettyn\u00e4 painu k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 kasaan. Vanu ei valitettavasti toimi t\u00e4ss\u00e4 kunnolla, sill\u00e4 pehme\u00e4n\u00e4 ja kuohkeana se helposti menee kasaan ja paakkuuntuu k\u00e4yt\u00f6n aikana. Meill\u00e4 sahajauhoa tulee remppahommien sivutuotteena ihan m\u00e4\u00e4riss\u00e4, joten ajattelin ett\u00e4 miksip\u00e4 en k\u00e4ytt\u00e4isi sit\u00e4 hy\u00f6dyksi. Eli tuumasta toimeen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arvelin ett\u00e4 itselleni eniten hy\u00f6ty\u00e4 olisi pitkulaisesta, hihalautaa imitoivasta silityskinkusta sek\u00e4 toisesta isommasta ja py\u00f6re\u00e4mm\u00e4st\u00e4 kinkusta. Useita erilaisia kaavoja silityskunkkuihin l\u00f6ytyy netist\u00e4. Itse k\u00e4ytin pohjana t\u00e4t\u00e4 ohjetta<\/a>. Leikkasin villakankaasta yhden kappaleen ja puuvillasatiinista kolme kappaletta kumpaakin mallia. On parempi laittaa kaksi tiiviimp\u00e4\u00e4 kangaskerrosta p\u00e4\u00e4llekk\u00e4in, jotta sahajauho ei p\u00f6lise kankaan l\u00e4pi niin helposti. Ompelin kappaleiden py\u00f6reisiin kohtiin pienet muotolaskokset, jotta kinkuista tulisi sulavalinjaisempia ja pulleampia. T\u00e4m\u00e4n j\u00e4lkeen ompelin kappaleet yhteen. K\u00e4\u00e4nt\u00f6-\/t\u00e4ytt\u00f6aukon j\u00e4tin kohtaan joka on helppo ommella umpeen k\u00e4sin. Saumojen kaareviin kohtiin tein muutamia aukileikkauksia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitten k\u00e4\u00e4nsin kinkut oikein p\u00e4in ja ryhdyin t\u00e4ytt\u00f6hommiin. Aukko kannattaa j\u00e4tt\u00e4\u00e4 sen verran isoksi ett\u00e4 siit\u00e4 on helppo lusikoida sahanpurua sis\u00e4\u00e4n, mutta sotkuista hommaa se on jokatapauksessa. Itsell\u00e4ni oli syliss\u00e4 isohko laastipalju jonne nostin sahajauhokassin. Lusikoin sahajauhon silityskinkkuun sis\u00e4\u00e4n laastipaljussa, jolloin se ei p\u00e4\u00e4ssyt levi\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n ymp\u00e4riins\u00e4. Purua kannattaa my\u00f6s tiivist\u00e4\u00e4 vaikkapa lusikan v\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4ll\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 t\u00f6kkim\u00e4ll\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n samoin kuin neulahuovuttaisi. T\u00e4h\u00e4n hommaan myyd\u00e4\u00e4n ihan ty\u00f6kalujakin, esim perinnelelutarvikkeita myyviss\u00e4 kaupoissa<\/a>. Kun kinkut olivat t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 ja tiiviin ja napakan tuntuisia, ompelin t\u00e4ytt\u00f6aukon umpeen k\u00e4sin. Kinkut ovat sit\u00e4 parempia, mit\u00e4 tiiviimmin ja t\u00e4ydemm\u00e4ksi ne saa t\u00e4ytetty\u00e4. Niiden on tarkoitus olla pinnaltaan sileit\u00e4 ja py\u00f6re\u00e4muotoisia. Kaikenlaiset muhkurat, poimut, kuopat ja vaillinainen t\u00e4ytt\u00f6, hankaloittavat niiden k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00e4. P\u00e4\u00e4h\u00e4n ompelen k\u00e4sin viel\u00e4 my\u00f6hemmin ripustuslenkit jotta ne voi ripustaa naulakkoon kun niit\u00e4 ei k\u00e4ytet\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ironing is probably the most annoying household work what a person can think of, right after doing the dishes and hoovering. Fun thing is that a person who hates ironing with a passion is a seamstress by profession. Ironing is one of the main things about sewing. It is needed after each seam and for the finished garments, to improve the sewing precision and make them look nice. Even the most beautiful garment in the world doesn’t look good if the seams have not been ironed or if the fabric is wrinkly. I have noticed, that ironing is not such tedious task with proper tools. So proper efficient iron and all sort of ironing aids like sleeve boards, tailors hams and horses, corner boards, and so on will make the job less annoying. There are also more specialized tools like spiky velvet ironing board and bias tape tools, which help the ironing immensely. I have acquired different sized sleeve boards from flea markets. Ironing horse and corner board I bought from my old school’s jumble sale. One thing I was still lacking though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tailors ham is long and narrow, pear shaped or ham shaped sturdy cushion, filled with sawdust. Sawdust is used as filling, because that makes the ham sturdy and it doesn’t shrink in use over time. Unfortunately wadding or padding doesn’t work well, because they are too soft and tend to clump and shrink in use. We get plenty of sawdust because we are renovating the house, so I thought, why not utilize it. So I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought that I probably benefit most of one long and narrow ham and another larger and round one. There are several different patterns and instructions for these online. I used these free instructions as a base<\/a> for my own pattern. I cut one piece from wool and three pieces from cotton satin. It’s better to use dense double layered fabric, to prevent the sawdust coming through them. I did small darts on curved seam areas, so the hams would be smoother and plumper. After making the darts, I sewed the pieces together. I left the turning\/filling hole on area which is easy to handsew afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I turned the hams right side out and started filling them. Leave the filling hole big enough so that it’s easy to shovel the sawdust in with a spoon. It will still be messy job to do. I placed the sawdust bag inside large bucket, which I lifted on my lap when I was filling the ham. It’s also good idea to shove the sawdust with blunt stick, so that it becomes sturdy and compact. Toy supply shops also sell stuffing tools for this job. When hams were filled up to the brim, I sew the hole by hand. Hams work the best if they are as full as possible and feel very solid and sturdy. They should be smooth on the outside and round in shape. All sort of lumps, bumps, folds, wrinkles and underfilling will make it more difficult to use them. I will also attach hanging loop on one end of both of them later. Then they can be hung on the wall when not in use. <\/p>\n\n\n

Silityshevonen ja silityskulma. Silityshevonen on k\u00e4tev\u00e4 isojen kaarevien kappaleiden silityksess\u00e4, kuten jakun rintamuotolaskokset. Silityskulmalla voi silitt\u00e4\u00e4 auki kauluksien ter\u00e4vi\u00e4 kulmia tai puvun hihansuuhalkioita. \/
Ironing horse and collar board. Horse is handy for ironing large curved pieces, like jacket breast darts. Collar board is for ironing sharp corners like collars or buttoned sleeve hems for jackets. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Silityskinkku leikataan nelj\u00e4n\u00e4 kappaleena. Kaksi n\u00e4ist\u00e4 saa olla tiivist\u00e4 puuvillaa, josta sahajauho ei tule l\u00e4pi. \/
Tailors hams are cut in four pieces. Two of them must be tightly woven cotton, which holds the sawdust in. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Pidempi silityskinkku neulattuna. Kaareviin p\u00e4ihin tulee pienet muotolaskokset. \/

Silityskinkut ommeltuna. Kuvan ottamisen j\u00e4lkeen kavensin saumanvaroja hiukan ja tein kaareviin kohtiin V:n muotoisia aukileikkauksia. Se auttaa kaarevaa kohtaa asettumaan sile\u00e4mmin k\u00e4\u00e4nnettyn\u00e4. \/
Tailors hams are now sewn. After taking the photo I trimmed down the seam allowances and made some v-shaped cuts on then around the curved seams. This helps the curved seam look smoother on the outside.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Sahajauhoa pussissa. Varaa t\u00e4t\u00e4 reilusti. N\u00e4ihin kahteen melko pieneen kinkkuun meni l\u00e4hes muovikassillinen sahajauhoa. \/
Sawdust in a bag. Reserve plenty of this for the hams. These two tailors hams took almost one full bag of sawdust.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

T\u00e4ytt\u00f6aukko olisi voinut olla isompikin. Sahajauho p\u00f6ly\u00e4\u00e4 ja sotkee, siksi tein t\u00e4yt\u00f6n korkealaitaisessa laastipaljussa. \/
The filling hole could have been bigger. Sawdust makes a mess, so I filled my ham inside this high-edged cement bucket. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Ompelin t\u00e4ytt\u00f6aukon umpeen paksulla kaksinkertaisella tikkauslangalla lyhyin pistoin. \/
I used thick thread in double and short hand stitches to close the filling hole. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"
Lopuksi harjasin kinkut puhtaaksi vaateharjalla. Ripustuslenkit n\u00e4ist\u00e4 viel\u00e4 puuttuvat. Ne olisi voinut ommella kappaleiden v\u00e4liin samalla kun ompelee yhdist\u00e4v\u00e4n sauman, mutta se unohtui. Ompelen siis ripustuslenkin my\u00f6hemmin k\u00e4sin. \/
Finishing touch was to brush both tailors hams clean with clothing brush. Hanging loops are still missing. It would have been handy to sew them between the layers when sewing the connecting seam, but I forgot it. So I will later add the loop by hand. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"
Kinkut saavat olla todella napakoita, niin ett\u00e4 kevyesti puristettaessa ne eiv\u00e4t anna juurikaan periksi vaan tuntuvat hyvin napakoilta. \/
Tailors hams must be quite sturdy, so when squeezing them slightly they feel quite tough and don’t really give in much.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
